UPPER COOS AND ESSEN.

To the Elit0r Of the Herald:
Having just closed an eight weeks
successful auction sale at Canaan,
VT, allow me through the columns
of your paper to express my views
in relation to Upper Coos and Essex
counties.
The town of Colebrook, with her
beautiful village surrounded on all
sides by rich and fertile soil, may
rightly be called the garden of the
State; and as we pursue our way up
the beautiful Connecticut valley we
behold rich and fertile fields on all
sides, extending north through the
towns of Stewartstown, GAINESVILLE
and Pittsburgh, on the New Hamp.
shire side, TO Connecticut Lake, and
on the Vermont side through the
towns of bennington and Canaan
VT, and Hereford, P. O., the trav.
eler beholds rich and fertile farms or
all sides, occupied by thrifty and
industrious, and consequently happy
people, with pocket books well lined
with money. This section of the
country is not only rich and fer.
tile land, but it has vast tracts ot
spruce and hardwood timber ex.
tending miles and miles beyond the
Lake; and as we see the millions OIL
lumber floating down the beautiful
Connecticut river we are forcibly
impressed by its large resources
Here the tourist and pleasure seeker
finds beautiful scenery and place.
of interest, and fish and game enough
to interest the sportsman. Coupled
with this, and best of all, healthy
genial, hospitable people who ex
tend hearty welcome. Then agar
it is a healthy section; no stagnan
waters to emit fever germs anC
kindred diseases, but the clear wat
ers Of the beautiful Connecticut ant
the bracing climate gives health ant
vigor to the aged, and ruddy cheek
to the lads and lasses.
Then taking into consideration tn

sketch, nothing else is wanting but
a railroad. The people of Cole
brook have put their shoulder to the
wheel and say that narrow guage
road shall be built from Stratford to
Colebrook. This is a step in the
right direction. If hot a broad
guage then a narrow guage. But
how long before the large resources
of this section and its broad guaged
people will ou;grow a narrow guagc
railroadl Some will perhaps say
that the timber can be floated down
the river cheaper than it can be
freighted. This may he true as far
as spruce lumber is concerned, but
the time has come when the manu-
facture of hardwood, that has of
late become so extensively used for
floors and finishing, pays better than
spruce, and from Stratford to the
Connecticut Lake there are millions
upon millions of hard wood lumber
that will not float, that would be
manufactured if there were facilities
for freighting it. This in connec-
ton with the large amount of pro-
duce annually raised IN this section
will make railroad selr-supporting,
and good investment, and pre-
dict that the time is not far distant
when railroad will be built either
from Groveton or Stratford, and
will connect with Canadian road.

IMMORAL LITERATURE.

"What books shall we read =?
What pictures look at 2" was the
sabject of DIR. Talmage's last pub
lished discourse, given TO our read.
ers in last weeks HERALD. Much
that the Doctor says is true; if he
only would consent to say it with
out such a wealth of extravaganza
language. 1t is singular that a man
who makes so special a profession
as DIR. Talmage does of following
a divine example should adopt
style of oratorY so totally unlike
anything to be found in the New
Testament. Simple language suf-
feed for its purposes. On the sub
ject of immoral literature there is
much of importance to be said; and
it is pity the clergy do not discuss
the subject more frequently than
they do. Parents need to be reused
to sense of their respon sibilities;
and attention needs to be called
to the fact that a book may be, hurt
full without openly intoxicating VIC
ious lessons. All books that encour-
age hayward or reckless way of
looking at life, all that tend to
stimulate selfish ambition or an
idle vanity, are to be avoided. One
of the difficulties in connection with
modern education is that so much
education of a more or less morbid
kind is imbibed through books that
find unchecked admission to home
and school. A more useful or timely
subject for pulpit discourse than
this could not lie found; and we
should be glad 10 hear of some
preacher in our own community
dealing with it in a calm and con.
vincing manner. The truth can
afford to be simple at all times.
